@@randommetalhead7 I'm surprised you're allowed to breathe the same air as him and be on the same planet without being sued. Because he invented air, Earth, being alive, and everything else you can think of. If it exists, Gene will patent it.

Haha props to Gruhammed for not backing down to Gene with that “good music is music for the masses” comment lol. Totally schooled him with that Justin Bieber One Direction comeback. Love how Gene tried to go all holier-than-thou, boomer on his ass and Gruhammed just laughed it off and hit him with the classic-band knowledge, proving to Gene he’s not just some clueless millennial.
He liked music, then he made 50 bucks playing music, then he loved music... because he could make money with it. Then he made a shit load of money with it, and he continues to make shit loads of money with it.
That is certainly true, elitists are unbearable and most of the time listen to pretentious shit. But that does not make Kiss (or more precisely him) more appealing. He speaks about massive success and the last recognisable worldwide hit Kiss had was “Shandi” 44 years ago. He even left the band afterwards for a couple years.
People think that, because 80% of the time its applicable lmao i absolutely dont support mainstream garbage. I also dont support sellouts, or bands catering to trends or poppy ideas to broaden their audience, i dont support support bands who go from making DAMN good music in their early years to making garbage unrecognizable stuff tailored for tik tokers. You can tell when a band is getting old and in a desperate attempt to stay relevant they change everything or just flat out "try to be hip" with the new generations and in doing so either offend the loyalists and oldheads who GAVE them their start by proxy of support, or make the original listeners cling to their old stuff and denounce their new stuff. Then the NEW generation loses interest because of their gen z ADHD and fad following, then the band has next to NO one left! Lol then they fade into obscurity! The more tight knit a community the more loyalty. Example. "Black Magick SS". Solid band. Solid fanbase. And they will always have their supports. And i wonder why? Thats a band thats NOT allowed to "evolve" or change lmfao theyre trapped by their reputation at this point. Theyd have to take on aliases and monikers at that point. But no need. Theyll always have their fan base. And for obvious ambiguous reasons, theyll probably never grow.
@@greggyfontane1487 There is no such thing as selling out. Artists like to create. Pretty much every band has changed their style and / or image at some point. Megadeth put out the albums Cryptic Writings, Risk, Countdown To Extinction, Youthanasia, The World Needs A Hero, and Supper Collider. David Ellefson wore 500 dollar designer leather pants during the "Risk" album phase. Anthrax did Rap and put out Sound of White Noise and We've Come For You All. Slayer wore eyeliner, whips, and chains, and they also put out a Nu Metal album in Diaboulos In Musica. Black Sabbath put out Forbibben! Ozzy wears eyeliner, capes, and tights. Death Angel basically changed their name to "The Organization" and changed their sound and style. They did the same thing when they formed Swarm. Pantera wore lipstick and panties on stage with teased hair. Gary Holt (Exodus) cut and dyed his hair blonde and wore basketball jerseys on stage, looking like Limp Bizkit. He also wore polo shirts. Flotsam and Jetsom put out Custro. Accept had a Glam phase. Celtic Frost had a Glam Phase. Judas Priest put out Turbo Lover. Machine Head cut, dyed, and braided their hair in the 90s. Testament tried Death Metal vocals and did ballads. Alex Skolnick (Testament) did a rap song, and he's in a jazz band. Obituary did a rap song. The list goes on of bands "selling out," as you call it. Silly comment about "mainstream garbage" when tons of bands are played on the radio. No way Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio, Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Megadeth, Anthrax, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Judas Priest, etc, are garbage! All of which are played on the radio all the time.
Didn’t he put a patent on the term “OJ” so he gets royalties any time somebody uses it? He tried suing King Diamond and claimed he stole his make up?! Like even a kid knows it’s different!🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
@@ernesterz how many people do you really think knows this? I do but only because my music taste is stuck in the 80s and 90s lmao. But I dare you to ask any gen z kid who Gene Simmons is and they will say some stupid shit like "one of our presidents I think" or "wasn't he the one character in this movie"
@@rowanreid5643 fair, but 1) I don't give a damn about gen z (which I belong to), facts are facts. I think that if you ask a kid this days who Julius Caesar was they could even say an actor or something like that. Even if he is an important person that belongs to History. 2) maybe not gene, but Kiss is in history books. And he is arguably the most important member, so...🤷🏼♂️
I’m amazed that Gene Simmons was ok with doing Wikipedia Fact or Fiction. So far they haven’t gotten any of the Metallica guys to do it (other than Jason Newsted).
asserts the masses decide what’s good music treating the majority as if they’re holy Claims the people that enjoy more underground music as holier than thou (Yes some people in our community do in fact still do this) Music can be enjoyed by any and all no matter how big or small. Majorities and minorities don’t get to objectively decide what’s “factually better music” Enjoy what you want to enjoy and don’t let anyone fucking tell you otherwise
Yeah, really glad Gruhammed totally shot that down with his Justin Bieber, one direction comment lol. Props to him for not backing down to a celebrity who challenged him.
I’ve never bought anything from them. Backstreet Boys sold millions of records to. Dude played bass nothing ground breaking or technical. The only good licks he had was with his actual tongue...
To understand Gene, you've got to understand what the phrases "dead pan" and what a "dry wit" is all about. Check THAT out, and I'll see you after class... (See what I did there?)
My favorite part of life is how people determine who a person is by a short clip. Gene is reserved, he isn’t funny he’s just quiet and probably prefers to observe people. Gene is a cool guy just up tight and doesn’t know wat to say when he dose speak
Good stuff is defined by the masses... we'll gene, i remember a time that the masses agreed a group of ppl were useless... just ask your grandmother and repeat that one
He's terrible. It's the sunglasses all of the time and the Planet of the Apes hairdo that does it for me. There are countless instances with comics where their hearts are just torn apart from meeting their childhood "idol".
He didn’t introduce Gene’s product correctly. As a business owner that’s annoying. Simmons is there to promote his product. The host didn’t do his homework and he got sht for it.
That interviewer did a solid job holding his own against that pompous ass. Gene Simmons does a good job here making people not want to buy his regurgitated and repackaged product.
I’d hate to see him Vs Gen Z😂😂 Gen Z: So you like wear stripper boots and stick your tongue out? Uhhh like ok. That’s weird, you should analyze that sis.
@@glengamble526 Most of the time, yes. Not in the original video of this interview where the interviewer looked quite the pleb and now it's been edited to turn the tables around. Fuck that!!
Gene is an arse yes but in this case I'm enjoying it as this kids don't know that Hollies song which was massive, yet he knows the Everly Brothers? just saying
Never liked kiss anyways. All he’s famous for is being the weirdo with the big tongue. You played bass settle down. The drummer was good but the only times he got to play was live. He was definitely better than the rest of the band.
With all your money and so called success none of it will make you right with God and get you to Heaven that makes you a big failure coz its all for nothing.
I'd have to disagree in certain respects they are very professional when it comes to putting on a show and Paul and Gene are geniuses when it comes to marketing and merchandising, I would say their music isn't that powerful on youtube or on a disc but they used to have Ace Frehley who is one of the best guitar players ever, their replacements are able to play those songs too but they've definitely gotten greedy and a drag to listen to outside the stage
"I'm Gene Simmons and I'm always right and better" is the vibe he always gives me
also "i'm Gene Simmons and i'm only here for the money" lmao

The thing about the masses twlling ehat is good and not is completely wrong. I dont know how anyone can think that.

Gene Simmons makes Dave Mustaine look like a humble saint.
What did Dave Mustaine do?
How on earth could this guy hold the record for sexual liaisons?!

Josh, you've GOT to be kidding...
Did you need carpenters to rip out the doors so he and his ego could get into the building?
Add that to the size of his gigantic head!!!!
He’s got a collection of kiss stuff on his favourite topic ( himself).
You can definitely see his inner egomaniac from here
No doubt in my mind that hes extremely rude to waitresses
So stay in the kitchen, Primuz!
You’d be wise to take note “never fuck with the people who make your food”
God I remember this, the tension was palpable lmao
Gene must think McDonald's is the best restaurant on the planet...
Nah he didn’t create it so he can’t be too supportive 💀💀😂
Gene only showed up to plug his merch. He only ever really cares about selling his new gimmick.
Props to fighting back against the ronald mcdonald of "rock".
How did he fight back ? By being too ignorant to know who The Hollies were ? 😅
Gene doesn't give two $hits about music, if it makes him money he likes it
He liked music, then he made 50 bucks playing music, then he loved music... because he could make money with it. Then he made a shit load of money with it, and he continues to make shit loads of money with it.
most music is trash anyways might as well make some bucks
And so does every other band like the money
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
this honestly isn’t as bad as I expected 😂
Same. It's more funny awkward than uncomfortable awkward.
Gene has a point. Metal fans or elitists think the smaller the fan base a band has the cooler they are. 🤣😂
He calls them holier than thou yet that’s exactly how he acts.

What an ego....I saw a video of Carol Kaye giving Simmons a bass lesson and he was actually humble..
He hates talking to men.
That ego is his signatur personality. He is not really like that. he is just marketing himself

Israeli-American rock and roll legend and bassist for the band KISS, Gene Simmons has an estimated net worth of $300 million.
I’ve never bought anything from them. Backstreet Boys sold millions of records to. Dude played bass nothing ground breaking or technical. The only good licks he had was with his actual tongue...
Kiss do have some good songs and their shows are Biblical! As a person his band mates think he is a jerk!
Too bad money can´t buy you class or a nice personality...
I've never seen someone who's so up them self.
To be fair, he was right for calling out Graham for not knowing He Ain't Heavy...
Like him or hate him, he's Gene Simmons.
Behemoth have masterpieces, and sorry for being one of the 3,000 listeners
Ace Frehley calls it Gene's Silly Safe. 😂😂😂
To understand Gene, you've got to understand what the phrases "dead pan" and what a "dry wit" is all about. Check THAT out, and I'll see you after class... (See what I did there?)
The Hollies
The answer he’s looking for is the Hollies
What song was Gene talking about from behemoth?

There's like tons of filmed and written proof of how big of an asshole he is. It's not just about this short clip.
0:59 great moment
Gene Simmons has been living in his own world for way too long. I wonder if he knows it’s 2022 not 1978
People just don't get gene's cents of humour I do he makes me laugh the man is always in character peace lloydy
xactly (only sensible comment here)

You're getting sued.
Graham does a good job
He's a goof.
